episode Mary Shelley: The Real Life Nightmare of the Mother of Horror artwork

Mary Shelley: The Real Life Nightmare of the Mother of Horror

HALLOWEEN! IS COMING!  So who better to talk about than “The mother of modern horror”…Mary Shelley?She is most famous for her timeless tale: Frankenstein.  Mary’s life story is WILD. It’s filled with love triangles, scandal, graveyards, silver spoons, political agendas, death, more death, and… more death. In fact, Frankenstein wasn’t some climactic peak in Mary’s life. She wrote it when she was 18 - which is barely the beginning of the up and down, twisty and turny, upside down and right side back up journey.  And it all starts in London, England in 1797… Music by Jacob Miller Smith: https://soundcloud.com/jmsmithmusic/ [https://soundcloud.com/jmsmithmusic/] Audio editing by True Crime Studios [https://truecrimestudios.com/] Presented by Unknown Media Follow us on IG @theweirdosweknow [https://www.instagram.com/theweirdosweknow] Visit our website at theweirdosweknow.wordpress.com/ [http://theweirdosweknow.wordpress.com/] Support our show at patreon.com/TheWeirdosWeKnow [http://patreon.com/TheWeirdosWeKnow]

episode Dr. Seuss: An Illicit Affair artwork

Dr. Seuss: An Illicit Affair

You gotta love someone like Dr Seuss who can write books that surprise, enchant, educate and entertain children all at once. He created entire worlds that are now deeply intertwined with Western Culture, especially around Christmas time with the Grinch and all of his lore. He’s responsible for The Cat and the Hat, Oh, the Places You’ll Go, Green Eggs and Ham, The Lorax, and a ton of other stories that have been adapted into movies, tv shows, songs, you name it.  Certainly, someone who is presented as so wholesome to us as children… must actually be wholesome?...Right?  Listen now Follow us on IG @theweirdosweknow [https://www.instagram.com/theweirdosweknow]  Visit our website at theweirdosweknow.wordpress.com/ [http://theweirdosweknow.wordpress.com/] Support our show at patreon.com/TheWeirdosWeKnow [http://patreon.com/TheWeirdosWeKnow] Presented by Unknown Media  Audio editing by Mike Goodrick: https://www.mikegoodrick.com/  [https://www.mikegoodrick.com/] Music by Jacob Miller Smith: https://soundcloud.com/jmsmithmusic/ [https://soundcloud.com/jmsmithmusic/]

episode Mozart: A dirty little secret artwork

Mozart: A dirty little secret

Mozart is a name that everybody knows. If you ask “who is Mozart”, pretty much everyone would say “a famous composer”. And it’s true.  When Mozart was 21 years old, he went on a vacation to visit family in Germany. He was visiting his Uncle Franz, Aunt Maria, and his cousin Maria Anna, who was 19 years old. He was there for a couple of weeks and it’s pretty widely believed and accepted that the two had an intimate relationship while he was there.  Here’s an excerpt from just one of the dirty little letters he writes to her… listen now Follow us on IG @theweirdosweknow [https://www.instagram.com/theweirdosweknow]  Visit our website at theweirdosweknow.wordpress.com/ [http://theweirdosweknow.wordpress.com/] Support our show at patreon.com/TheWeirdosWeKnow [http://patreon.com/TheWeirdosWeKnow] Presented by Unknown Media  Audio editing by Mike Goodrick: https://www.mikegoodrick.com/  [https://www.mikegoodrick.com/] Music by Jacob Miller Smith: https://soundcloud.com/jmsmithmusic/ [https://soundcloud.com/jmsmithmusic/]

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
